Breaking NEWS, FOX news: Compass resigns from NOPD

What I was saying is that if what happened was an example of the police in New Orleans not losing control of the city, imagine what hell would have been unleashed if they had lost control of the city.

They're claiming that this calamity was NOT a loss of control? Let me ask this, then: If someone had called 911 and said that four armed guys were in the living room raping his wife and daughter, would the police have been on their way to take care of the situation?

If you can't even REACH 911 -- as people could not, obviously -- then the police are not in control of things. That's a given. It goes without saying.

And if you could reach 911 and they told you that they didn't have anyone they could send, that too is "loss of control."

Mr. Nagin's words mean little. Many times scoundrels are called heros as they are flushed down history's toilet of oblivion.
I believe it has become obvious that Mr. Compass not only lost control of New Orleans, but also control of his own police force. Over the past few weeks we have seen his officers walk off the job and leave town, turn to blatant crime themselves or choose suicide. To be sure, there are heros on the police force of New Orleans. Mr. Compass himself violated the second ammendment, as well as the fourth ammendment. This classifies him as one who turned to criminal activity. While at the very least condoning these violations of the Constitution, Mr. Compass called officers who walked off the job cowards. Then, when a hot bright light was shone on his activities, Mr. Compass turned in his badge and walked off the job. Thus he joined those who he labeled cowards. I do not wish him suicide, but I would not feel the loss if he chose it.

Here in Louisiana, we have a word for a person of no honor, who bleeds society and then turns tail, one who is lower than a coward. Scalawag. Mr. Compass is a scalawag.
 
It is hard to decide what to believe about the mess in NOLA. From the media reports the city had descended into a Mad Max world of roving gangs, murder, rapes and deserting police.

Now we hear that the mayhem might not have been as bad as the Mayor and media portrayed. The murder rate did not increase according to the latest blab from the talking heads. The huge number of dead was not that huge (Still too large but not in the 10,000 range)

Some of the NOPD apparently did their jobs with no support from the "Leadership" above them. They were left on their own with no help for a week. The fact that only 200 or so deserted is amazing. I have seen pictures of cops wading in water trying to stop looters and chase criminals.

I have seen the two bimbos looting the Wally World too, in any group you have some bad apples. But others tried in impossible circumstances to do their job.

Who really knows the whole story?
 
Small tidbit only slightly related to this thread.

Nagin calls compass a "Hero"?

Well, that "hero" did his job SO WELL prior to Katrina that NOLA was the worst city in America when it came to homicides. NOLA is the city with the highest unsolved murder rate. It is so bad there that the cops did a "test" in which they fired I believe) 250 blank rounds in a downtown district and NO ONE called 911 to report it. Not anyone. Because they were too afraid? Who knows.

This is the city protected by Compass-the-Hero and his police force under his leadership.

The man was SNAFU for a long time.
 
I'm from Alabama originally, and all my life I have heard Louisiana referred to as a state that was half under water and half under indictment. Seems apt, especially in the light of Fox News commentator Tony Snow's revelation that the FBI had concluded that a majority of the "missing" officers of NOPD didn't actually exist.

In other words, it seems SOMEONE has been padding the payroll, by several hundred officers.

Hours before New Orleans Police Superintendent Eddie Compass announced his resignation, Tony relayed some hot information he had heard from his Capitol Hill sources. It regarded an FBI investigation currently under way.

Fox News reported earlier today that an FBI investigation is beginning to reveal that perhaps hundreds of New Orleans police officers are ficticious, to the tune of tens of millions of dollars worth of unaccounted-for payroll dollars.

With fictitious [sp?] cruisers, shotguns, and uniforms, all paid for by taxpayer money?
 
I guess that's why they "didn't have enough guns" and had to ask civilians for theirs. Their graft got them a bunch of guns and cruisers for nonexistent officers, but they still don't have at least one gun per real officer, I guess. :rolleyes:

I'm not surprised. Grambling State University had an extension program in NOLA back in the 1990s that had ficticious students, campus. GSU's President, Harold Lundy had his family on the faculty. A friend of mine tried for over a year to enroll in a course before the operation was shut down. The NOPD engaging in the same practices does not surprise me.
